论文摘要
智能过程自动化（IPA）正在成为AI的子场，以支持长尾过程的自动化，这需要跨不同系统的任务协调。到目前为止，IPA领域主要是由系统和用例驱动的，缺乏对任务及其评估的更正式定义。本文旨在通过提供IPA的形式化和提出特定指标来支持IPA系统的经验评估来解决这一差距。这项工作还比较并将IPA与诸如最终用户编程和程序合成等相关任务进行比较。
Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) is emerging as a sub-field of AI to support the automation of long-tail processes which requires the coordination of tasks across different systems. So far, the field of IPA has been largely driven by systems and use cases, lacking a more formal definition of the task and its assessment. This paper aims to address this gap by providing a formalisation of IPA and by proposing specific metrics to support the empirical evaluation of IPA systems. This work also compares and contrasts IPA against related tasks such as end-user programming and program synthesis.
